Also Available In...


I've had this picture for so long in my "Snapshots of a Blog" folder (where I keep all my inspiration for these). I think it's creative and very inventive.

Some days I feel like I can't do anything right, other days seem perfect. But most of all I hate those in between days where you don't know if you really messed up or if it doesn't matter one way or the other. I don't know what I'm feeling. Have you ever felt so many emotions that whenever you try to put it into words you come up blank? That's the issue. Kind of.

I went back to school today. Back to polo shirts and plaid skirts. It was as dull as a clambake. I hate my government class most. I would rather become an anarchist than finish this class. I love seeing my friends though after the break.

Half way through the middle

I would like to take this time during my vacation to introduce you to a few of my favorite shows that are currently on air. I have a lot more than this but these are the ones that just the thought of them can make me laugh.

Yes, the Big Bang Theory. I have been watching this show since the very first episode. I even will watch the reruns in between seasons. There is not a single character that I do not like. They deserve that Emmy more than anyone and I am proud of all of them for getting it. I love Sheldon so much! Bazinga!

The Middle. They are hilarious. It's got Scrubs' Neil Flynn as the dad who is marvelous and Everybody Loves Raymond's Patricia Heaton who I have missed for far too long. Brick is my favorite character most likely in this show. It's really great. To be understated.

Speel


Hello there,
I bet by now you are wondering, what does the ingenious Eiggam do in her spare time? What is she doing at school? What are her hobbies?
Well I'm here to tell you all of that.
Let's start with a little story about a little show that has a little game.
I watched a few episodes of a show from Nickelodeon. I looked it up and found that the show was an English remake of a Dutch version that had been very successful.
I looked up the actual dutch nickelodeon site while in the computer lab for study hall at school.
My friend Emerald was with me and we started playing the games on there in our spare time.
Let me say this: Dutch kid games are very odd.
Example: One game is going over a tongue with your mouse and trying to guess what food it ate by the little bubbles that pop up. Another game is a classic matching game but instead of the cards flipping over, symbols appear in a gas above the card when you click it. ANOTHER game is where you try to focus a picture by moving the mouse to the right part of the screen.
The games are odd yes, but the timing is even more peculiar.
Apparently when you play a dutch game, when you think you have ten seconds left, you don't. The game is over if it gets to ten, or as I've learned "Tijd is om."
There's also a person named "Marianne" on the card matching one who has won the first five pages of the highscores. It's a big thing right now. So I thought I'd fill you in.
We're currently featured with a 2124 point score on a dutch spelling game.
Yours until the end of the Internet,
Eiggam

Oh Bloody Blogger!


I saw "The King's Speech" today with my parents. It was absolutely brilliant. I had pretty much no idea what it was about going to see it but it was splendid! All I knew was it was about a guy who had a stuttering (or stammering) problem. And in case you don't know anything either, I am not going to tell you what it is all about. Just know it is a masterpiece for sure.
I will say this. Helena Bonham Carter is outstanding. I've always been a fan of hers but I've never seen her in something like this. I sound like I am gushing and I am but it is definitely worth it. I may even buy it on dvd when it comes out. Yeah, that good.
Speaking of dvd's have you noticed how inexpensive they are now a days? They're next to nothing just about. I mean, I have a blu-ray player of course but I didn't know how fast DVD prices were going to drop because of it. I like Blu-Ray too though.
Here's a bit of information for you: I only have one lightbulb working on my ceiling fan but there should be four working. It's been like that for about a month and a half. I haven't gotten to it yet....
Yours, until the end of the internet,
